Rivers is age 33. Tom Brady just won a Super Bowl at age 37. Rivers threw for 4300 yards and 31 TD's last season and he's been very durable throughout his career. In short, I think he is an outstanding NFL QB who probably has 3 or 4 good years left in the tank. And don't forget that George Blanda played QB in the NFL until the age of around 65, I think. And he kicked FG's, too. So you never know how long Rivers might last.

Right now, we have no QB. If we did the deal with SD, we'd have Rivers for 3-4 years and we could draft a QB in the first round this year or next year if we wanted to do so. We could also trade RGIII and/or Cousins if we wanted to do so. I think RGIII would have to go if we did the deal.

We could also use the 17th pick and another pick to move up in the first round this year to land a top edge rusher or RT.

Trading for Rivers wouldn't hurt the building of the team one bit and we'd get much better fast.

The only issue would be working out an extension with Rivers because he is only signed through 2015.

So, yes!
